1954 was the year Buick moved into third place in Detroit's sales race, passing Plymouth and trailing only the popularly priced behemoths Chevrolet and Ford. It was a resounding endorsement in the most tangible way possible for Buick's policy of building high quality, distinctive, powerful and attractive automobiles. Considering that it outsold many other marques that sold for less – in some cases much less –the achievement was even more remarkable. The most expensive and most prestigious automobile in Buick's line was the Roadmaster convertible. Buick held nothing back on this showboat, equipping it with the 322 cubic inch V8, Dynaflow, power steering (newly designed this year for less effort), power brakes, power top, power windows and even power vertical adjustment of the front seat. The 1955 Buick Roadmaster offered here is an incredible time-capsule car, with its original paint, interior and top still in place. It shows no signs of rust and is an enjoyable driver. The paint, chrome and interior surfaces show minor wear, which must be forgiven for a car of its 55 years.
